At Wrestlepalooza 2025, Jey Uso suffered a painful injury caused by a major botch during a tag team match, drawing attention across WWE fans and wrestlers alike. The incident, widely referred to as the Jey Uso Wrestlepalooza botch, was notably mocked by former World Heavyweight Champion Xavier Woods through social media, adding tension to the ongoing rivalry between The Usos and The New Day.
Details of Jey Uso’s Match and the Accident
Jey Uso teamed with his twin brother Jimmy Uso to take on Big Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker in a high-stakes tag team contest. As the match neared its close, Jey attempted to deliver a chair shot on Bron Breakker but catastrophically hit himself, causing a visible head injury. This botch led to an abrupt end to the fight when The Aus-zilla pinned the bloodied Jey Uso to claim victory for their side. The incident marked an unfortunate moment in the match and quickly became a point of controversy following the event.
Xavier Woods’ Harsh Reaction on Social Media
Sticking to his heel persona, Xavier Woods took to Instagram to ridicule Jey Uso’s mistake. The multi-time WWE Tag Team Champion posted an edited video comparing The New Day’s effective chair shot tactics to Jey’s self-inflicted injury, accentuating the embarrassment for The Usos. In the caption, Woods taunted the brothers while mocking Jey’s misfortune.
“The Usos try to claim they are better than The New Day while doing stuff like this. They at least have a future in stand up comedy! Well Jim does, im not sure if Jey can do the standing part after busting his own head open,” he wrote.

Ongoing Rivalries Following Wrestlepalooza
While The Usos are heavily involved in a heated feud with The Vision, The New Day members, including Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston, and Grayson Waller, have continued to focus on their conflict with luchador Penta. Recently, the trio has campaigned to get Penta’s signature move, the Mexican Destroyer, banned from competition. Ironically, Penta employed the very move to defeat Kofi Kingston in last week’s episode of RAW, maintaining his position in the ongoing storyline.
Jey Uso’s Health Status After the Incident
Following the match, Jey Uso posted an update on Instagram Stories, sharing a photo of himself in the locker room with blood covering his head. Despite the alarming visual, he reassured fans that he was okay. Reports confirmed that Jey was placed into concussion protocol after the injury, but details regarding the severity remain scarce. Although Jey had been scheduled for appearances on the upcoming Monday Night RAW episode even before Wrestlepalooza, it is currently uncertain whether he will be able to participate as expected.
The WWE community is closely watching what lies ahead for both Jey and Jimmy Uso as they recover and prepare for future matches, while the fallout from the botch and Woods’ criticism continue to fuel backstage conversations and fan debates.
